I have tried this, but unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce the problem. Some details follow.

Starting at repository Cabal-0, a version of the libraries/Cabal repository with

> thorkil-naurs-mac-mini:~/tn/test/darcs/Issue/1034/work/repos thorkilnaur$ darcs changes --repodir Cabal-0 --last=1
> Mon Aug 25 15:23:52 CEST 2008  Ian Lynagh <igloo at earth.li>
>   * Teach Cabal about the PackageImports extension

I successively generated Cabal-1, Cabal-2, Cabal-3, ... and so on, unpulling one patch at a time. Cabal-22 has

> Thu Aug  7 21:03:07 CEST 2008  David Waern
>   * Use 'ghc-pkg dump' instead of 'ghc-pkg describe *'

and represents the state of the repository around 2008-August-7. This repository was tarred up.

I then repeatedly (1) untarred the Cabal-22 repository; (2) darcs pulled the next Cabal-x repository into it; (3) inspected the 
output of darcs whatsnew. Hence, I have tried to pull all versions of the libraries/Cabal repository between 2008-August-7 and 
2008-August-25 into Cabal-22. In all cases, darcs whatsnew reported "No changes!".

This was done with

> thorkil-naurs-mac-mini:~/tn/test/darcs/Issue/1034/work/repos thorkilnaur$ darcs --version
> 2.0.2 (+ 76 patches)

that I got from

> thorkil-naurs-mac-mini:/Volumes/tn18 HD 1/Users/thorkilnaur/tn/darcsDarcsRepository/darcs.net-for-Issue-1034-
20080831_1055/darcs.net thorkilnaur$ ./darcs --version
> 2.0.2 (+ 168 patches)

by unpulling 92 patches. I also tried this with darcs 2.0.2 (release) and with darcs 2.0.2 (+ 168 patches) and again failed to 
reproduce the problem.

Best regards
Thorkil
